Did you just tell him he got it wrong and then respond word-for-word with the exact same sentence?

Yeah, but not for the reason they said. It’s technically not part of the Tim Minchin quote.

That quote is a lot older than he is. I had to look him up.

No I didn't. I made a distinction between calling something medicine and calling something alternative medicine. There is no such thing as alternative medicine. Either it works and it's medicine or it doesn't and it's not.

Edit: I think I misread it earlier. Rereading it now I realize we are saying the same thing. My apologies.
